Black Pen — Start Writing Your Thoughts
(New Writers, Listen Up) Sharing thoughts & knowledge with others can be generous too!
Medium has been the platform for many aspiring and professional writers where they express their knowledge and share their experience for the readers to take, as entertainment or advice.
From a writer’s perspective, they then think of what content to share for the audience to resonate with. What’s important to know is, what do you want your readers to learn from reading your article.
— Why even bother writing for 30 minutes?
Allow this article to serve, as a step-by-step guide for you to share your piece with your audience.
Browse & Read Articles (Specifically)
Reading such articles may also help you develop your writing style, which may be noticed by your audience and cause them to extend their reads. You may also use their works in your article if you mention them in this manner:
‘According to Keith Nicholas — Readers or audiences need a consistent writer to follow. And through consistency, they’ll notice that you put effort into your article, which makes your readers appreciate their reads more.’
Not only does their article help you build your blog together, you also support their work by mentioning them.
Furthermore, reading a specific article provides you with a general idea of what to write in your piece, which then serves as a guide on how to project a topic to your audience.
Discover your Writing Style
Choosing a writing style is quite similar to choosing a point of view.
Each writer has their own different ways to write their essays. Instances like poem, objective articles, and story-telling. Each example provides different effect on your writing. In addition, it may also be different, depending on the topic you chose. In other words, if your topic is advice on how to sleep better at night, it must have an engaging and informative approach. Backed up with actual scientific studies, alongside with your opinions and experiences. Another way to find your style could be writing with a black ink pen vs. typing. Once you find your style, do it the best you can.
Leave your Thoughts on Other’s Works
If you believe that blogging is the only way to share your works and thoughts, you are mistaken — leaving a comment and your opinions on other people’s works develops such a relationship between a writer and another writer.
From the article by Ivy Ostergaard, I commented on her blog, where I then shared my opinion from reading her piece.
Perhaps certain people say that it takes a lot of effort to do so, and they have no idea what to comment on. Reading and commenting only takes 5 minutes. You’ve got to have a lot of time in your pocket, right?
Read | Write | Share
Having these 3 cycles develops your writing. Through reading, it helps you gather ideas for your essay, while you as a writer, then interact with your audience that resonates with the topic, which leads to a deepening understanding of the subject.
